Looks to be a good one...

...and, I sure wished there were more of these in this area of the woods (SE ID).

Yeah they usually have a pretty good show. Seems like the last few years things have been way overpriced but you can always negotiate. I am going this time and looking for specific items to finish out my reloading gear.
I have a brother in law that lives in your neck of the woods around Rigby

TexasD,

He'd be a very close neighbor...

...I'm just a few miles SE of Rigby.

I may have to make the drive for this one. Has anyone been in the past?

Well I went today. Be prepared to spend plenty if you see something you just have to have. One guy had Hi Point mags for $30.95 each($17 each from Hi Point). Another had a set of used Lee dies for 40 S&W at $30(but they were in a RCBS box, must make them worth more), I went a few tables down and bought a brand new set for $23.50. Still another fellow had a Yugo SKS for $425 and a MN M44 (a 43 Izzy)for $159. I left and went to a pawn swhop and bought a MN M38 and a used Hi Point mag for $65 out the door. We just had a good laugh about the gun show prices. Totally rediculous

Gun shows going to run themselves out of business with high prices. Either that Obama will. lol

I read a lot of gripes about prices at gun shows and wonder how many that gripe know what the profit margin is for these dealer's. I make knifes and have had customers complain tat the prices are to high but they can't understand how much work goes into a hand made knife. Stop by in Dec. and see what I have.
